RelCheck: Dual-Evidence Spatial Grounding for VLM Hallucination Correction

RelCheck is a training‑free post‑hoc correction pipeline that addresses relational hallucinations in multimodal large language models. It augments object‑level visual grounding with two forms of relational evidence—learned scene‑graph triples from RelTR and deterministic spatial predicates derived from bounding‑box geometry—forming a three‑layer visual knowledge base. When applied to LLaVA v1 13B, RelCheck improves the overall MME hallucination score from 585.0 to 630.0, with the most significant gain on spatial position accuracy.

Deterministic Hallucination Detection in Medical VQA via Confidence-Evidence Bayesian Gain

arXiv:2603. 21693v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for medical Visual Question Answering (VQA), yet they remain prone to hallucinations, defined as generating responses that contradict the input image, posing serious risks in clinical settings.

Mitigating Visual Hallucinations in Multimodal Systems through Retrieval-Augmented Reliability-Aware Inference

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in vision-language understanding and natural-language response generation. However, these systems can still produce overconfident predictions and hallucination-like outputs, particularly when the visual evidence is weak, ambiguous, or semantically inconsistent.
